Is that wealth?

Is that wealth?


I'm not sure what you're asking but I'm going to assume you are saying "Didn't she pay for this?".

I'm going to answer no because as indicated in the video the company does this in their "spare time". If someone was paying you for something you'd treat it just like any other job.

The company also said "we won't make another of these" if people wanted to buy the product they would sell it no?

Lastly the gentleman representing the company says "we learned a lot from this project" which is him justifying doing it for free as a one time thing.

Roughy, Westeners sometimes do incredible things just for the fun and challenge of it.

Darkhand, I was being sarcastic. The "is this wealth" comment was in relation to another conversation going on over in Sift Talk.

It was something of a zen koan, because wealth is seen only as capital by the majority of dimwits who run this country.

Is the woman wealthier for having the mermaid outfit? Is the company of artists and professionals who made it for her richer for the experience?

As opposed to easterners, or southerners, or northerners?

You have a dangerously shallow mind.

I don't know roughy... you've already demonstrated contempt for Western values, it's a fair assumption that you view this story as some reprehensible use of "wealth"....

I thought this was really cool because it's great to see people caring when they don't have to.
